Genesis 14
1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel the king of Shinar, Arioch the king of El-lasar, Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations,
那時史納爾王阿默辣斐耳，厄拉撒爾王阿黎約客，厄蘭王革多爾老默爾，哥因王提達耳，
2 [that] they made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and with Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Shinab the king of Admah, and Shemeber the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
興兵攻擊索多瑪王貝辣，哈摩辣王彼爾沙，阿德瑪王史納布，責波殷王舍默貝爾及貝拉即左哈爾王。
3 All these were joined in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
那些王子會合於息丁山谷，即今日的鹽海。
4 Twelve years had they served Chedorlaomer; and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
他們十二年之久隸屬於革多爾老默爾，在十三年上就背叛了。
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-Kirjathaim,
在十四年上，革多爾老默爾率領與他聯盟的君王前來，在阿市塔特卡爾那殷擊敗了勒法因，在哈木擊敗了組斤，在克黎雅塔殷平原擊敗了厄明，
6 and the Horites on their mount Seir, to El-Paran, which is by the wilderness.
在曷黎人的色依爾山擊敗了曷黎人，一直殺到靠近曠野的厄耳帕蘭；
7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt at Hazazon-Tamar.
然後回軍轉到恩米市帕特，即卡德士，征服了阿瑪肋克人的全部領土，也征服了住在哈匝宗塔瑪爾的阿摩黎人。
8 And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, went out, and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim,
索多瑪王哈摩辣王，阿德瑪王，責波殷王和貝拉即左哈爾王於是出來，在息丁山谷列陣，
9 with Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and Tidal the king of nations, and Amraphel the king of Shinar, and Arioch the king of Ellasar — four kings with the five.
與厄蘭王革多爾老默爾，哥因王提達耳，史納爾王阿漠辣斐耳和厄拉撒爾王阿黎約客交戰：四個王子敵對五個王子。
10 And the vale of Siddim was full of pits of asphalt. And the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there: and they that remained fled to the mountain.
息丁山谷遍地是瀝青坑；索多瑪王和哈摩辣王逃跑時都跌在坑裏；其餘的人都逃到山裏去了。
11 And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and departed.
那四個王子劫走了索多瑪和哈摩辣所有的財物和一切食糧，
12 And they took Lot and his property, Abram's brother's son, and departed. For he dwelt in Sodom.
連亞巴郎兄弟的兒子羅特和他的財物也帶走了，因為那時他正住在索多瑪。
13 And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. And he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol, and the brother of Aner. And these were Abram's allies.
有個逃出的人跑來，將這事告訴了希伯來人亞巴郎，他那時住在阿摩黎人瑪默勒的橡樹區；這阿摩黎人原是亞巴郎的盟友厄市苛耳和阿乃爾的兄弟。
14 And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive; and he led out his trained [servants], born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued [them] as far as Dan.
亞巴郎一聽說他的親人被人擄去，遂率領家生的步兵三百一十八人，直追至丹。
15 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is to the left of Damascus.
夜間又和自己的僕人分隊襲擊，將他們擊敗，直追至大馬士革以北的曷巴，
16 And he brought back all the property, and brought again his brother Lot and his property, and the women also, and the people.
奪回了所有的財物，連他的親屬羅特和他的財物，以及婦女和人民都奪回來了。
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he had returned from smiting Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, into the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's valley.
亞巴郎擊敗革多老默爾和與他聯盟的王子回來時，索多瑪王出來，到沙委山谷，即「君王山谷」迎接他。
18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought out bread and wine. And he was priest of the Most High God.
撒冷王默基瑟德也帶了餅酒來，他是至高者天主的司祭，
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth.
祝福他說：「願亞巴郎蒙受天地的主宰，至高者天主的祝福!
20 And blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him the tenth of all.
願將你的敵人交於你手中的至高者的天主受讚美! 」亞巴郎遂將所得的，拿出十分之一，給了默基瑟德。
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for thyself.
索多瑪王對亞巴郎說：「請你將人交給我，財物你都拿去罷! 」
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the Most High God, possessor of heavens and earth,
亞巴郎卻對索多瑪王說：「我向上主、至高者天主、天地的主宰舉手起誓：
23 if from a thread even to a sandal-thong, yes, if of all that is thine, I take [anything]...; that thou mayest not say, I have made Abram rich;
凡屬於你的，連一根線，一根鞋帶，我也不拿，免得你說：我使亞巴郎發了財。
24 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.
除僕從吃用了的以外，我什麼也不要；至於與我同行的人阿乃爾、厄市苛耳和瑪默勒所應得的一分，應讓他們拿去。」
